Has to be one of the best looking and sounding cars ever on the road, to me looks even better as a convertible.

Hard to choose the most stunning car ever made but if I had to pick, my vote would be the Vanquish S. Miles better looking than the current DB11 variants.

100% Saw a Db11 last weekend looks okay but somehow the proportions just seem a little off and the back end has that hyundai looking kink that kicks out. They need to fo back to their prior design language with the Db11 and the new Vantage (which also has a very overly done rear diffuser)

The Aston make the sound we hope all cars make!

Absolutely perfect car. I'm the BIGGEST ASTON fan on the planet. Loved the video. I've hired them, so that's my way to experience the V12. DB9, Rapide and DBS 59 plated one . A Vanquish S would be life changing 😍😃 love to meet up. I'm near Bath. Keep up the good work 🤞👍

I think they should have done away with the rear seats altogether and did what they did in the DBS using an aluminium divider to make a small luggage shelf if the seat's were deleted, I saw a DB7 for sale once which had the rear seats deleted and in place was a carpet'd luggage area with leather straps and buckles to hold items, many years ago that's what they did in the Jaguar XJS cabriolet it looks so much better and doesn't pretend to be useful as a seat, plus if it is an 'S' it should have just been a 2 seater from the outset and not a 2+2 which it has a hard job being anyway. They delete the rear seats in the Vantage roadster and do a nice job of finishing the space I think they use the same aluminium divider idea. Great car though.

Great review as always Pete. One thing about this car and I don't know if anyone else would agree but the stitching on the seats, door cards and headliner is amazing, and i think the interior is very nice. However, that steering wheel (as with all Aston's) is just awful! I know its the optional upgrade but really, if that's the upgrade the I can only assume the original is even worse! The shape is cool and different, but the actual style is terrible! When you look at the new Audi's and BMW's (for example), or even the new DS and Alfa's, and compare those to this, it looks like the Aston's belongs in the original DB9, or even DB7! I'm sure they could do a much better job! There just no flair to it at all, couldn't be more boring IMO.

Everyone says the interior is amazing, but I've sat in the standard Vanquish at a car show and honestly I wasn't impressed. A £200K car and the interior feels like something from a £30K BMW. Compared to other cars in its price range it's bad. Maybe it's just me but the interior just doesn't look good enough to be in £200K+ car. Especially when I £50K Audi or £75K Mercedes looks 100× better. It looks really old fashioned and not modern or even high tech compared to the rest of the car.

It's a very expensive sound track!

Banning petrol engines based upon “because EVs are better on X, Y, Z” is utterly nonsensical. EVs have such short lifespans compared to petrol. You can see 40+ year petrol engines rolling, some 10 year old Teslas are already having a bad time on the open road.
